New Tool (3.1+): Reform

Renoise Tools
41

Tested the 3.3 version of the tool with a fresh Renoise 3.4.4 (x64) installation, and the VOL, PAN, and FX sliders are working on my end.

To have any effect, there must be some VOL, PAN, or Note FX values already existing in the selection that’s being processed, or you can adjust the min/max values above/below the sliders, and activate the “Redistribute” buttons at the bottom, to create some values that are interpolated between the min/max values you set.

You can see some basic demonstrations here: aqu.surf/reform#vol-transform

Let me know if any of this works for you!

Hiya! On your videos the notes seem to duplicate as you use the sliders, mine don’t they just all go up or down… Is there something I’m missing/ not doing right? I’d like to use the tool to create interesting drum patterns but at the moment it’s just adjusting the notes timings not making more of them and moving them all around, if you know what I mean?! It’s a great tool though and the website is sick!

Hi Oli! The tool is only able to adjust note’s timings, moving them around as you described. The tool does not have the ability to duplicate notes.

However, if you select some notes, move them a bit with Reform, then use Renoise’s Undo function, then continue using Reform’s sliders, you can duplicate notes that way. This is unintended behavior though, and will likely be fixed in the future.

When scaling volume this tool reads note offs with no volume value as they’d have maximum volume. Is there way to to ignore note offs?

Also is there an easy way to apply this for the whole song for certain track?

Thanks!

Ah, that’s a good point about Note-Offs! When I get the time, I’ll see what can be done about it. In the meantime, hopefully it’s not too much of a nuisance to work around.

I did have the idea of allowing selections spanning across multiple patterns, but sadly it’s not something I currently have the time to work on.

I’m glad this thread got bumped because I forgot to check out this tool the last time I saw it.

Being able to timestretch a note selection means I can finally recreate my Ableton workflow of jamming out a MIDI pattern without a metronome and then cleanly looping it. I know Reform can do a lot more, but damn, that alone is huge for me. This tool (+ the site) is a work of art, congrats!
